Rev. D {\\bf 81}, 103514 (2010)] found that the sign of interaction $Q$ in the dark sector changed in the approximate redshift range of $0.45\\,\\lsim\\, z\\,\\lsim\\, 0.9$, by using a model-independent method to deal with the observational data. In fact, this result raises a remarkable problem, since most of the familiar interactions cannot change their signs in the whole cosmic history. Motivated by the work of Cai and Su, we have proposed a new type of interaction in a previous work [H. Wei, Nucl. Phys. B {\\bf 845}, 381 (2011)]. The key ingredient is the deceleration parameter $q$ in the interaction $Q$, and hence the interaction $Q$ can change its sign when our universe changes from deceleration ($q>0$) to acceleration ($q<0$). In the present work, we consider the cosmological constraints on this new type of sign-changeable interactions, by using the latest observational data. We find that the cosmological constraints on the model parameters are fairly tight. In particular, the key parameter $\\beta$ can be constrained to a narrow range.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-11-20T12:56:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "95.36.+x", "98.80.Es", "98.80.-k" ], "keywords": [ "cosmological constraints", "sign-changeable interactions", "approximate redshift range", "latest observational data", "universe changes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Communications in Theoretical Physics", "year": 2011, "month": "Nov", "volume": 56, "number": 5, "pages": 972 }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 871886, "adsabs": "2011CoTPh..56..972W" } } }
